Abstract (en)
[origin: US6186698B1] In a combination of a construction member with a connecting element the construction member is provided with a groove having opposite, inwardly mutually divergent, planar side wall portions. The connecting element, as viewed longitudinally, is formed as a rail section and includes at least two elastic legs cooperating as a pair having a free outer end. The legs are bendable to one another into a compressed condition. In a relaxed, uninstalled state the outer sides of said legs are mutually divergent towards the free outer end, and in an installed state the legs of the pair are received in the groove in the compressed condition such that the outer sides of the legs are mutually divergent towards the free outer end, whereby the outer sides of the legs resiliently engage the planar side wall portions of the groove of the construction member for holding the connecting element in the groove by friction.
